Industrial robots are the crucial part of digitalization of the
manufacturing industry around the world. The new World Robotics
Report by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) shows that a
record of 381.000 units have been shipped globally - plus 30 percent.
Sales value increased by 21 percent to a new peak of US$16.2 billion.
At the same time total number of professional service robots sold
rose by 85 percent.

The new World Robotics Report 2018 shows where Asia, America and
Europe now stand in the automation race. How will the conquest of
industrial robots progress in the automotive and electronics sectors
or even completely new fields of application until 2021 and how does
the service robots sector evolve?

World Robotics Report - Industrial Robots: This unique report
provides global statistics on industrial robots in standardized
tables and enables national comparisons to be made. It contains
statistical data from around 40 countries broken down into areas of
application, industrial sectors, types of robots and other technical
and economic aspects. Production, export and import data is listed
for selected countries. It also describes the trends in relation to
robot density, e.g. the number of robots per 10,000 employees in
relevant sectors.

World Robotics Report - Service Robots: This unique report
provides global statistics on service robots, market analyses, case
studies and international research strategies on service robots. The
study is jointly prepared with our partner Fraunhofer IPA, Stuttgart.
